Hardware Installation

To mechanically install the Delta TDIF, do the following:

1. Turn off your computer.

2. Remove the computer’s cover and position the computer so that you

may easily access its PCI slots.

3. Select the PCI slot where you will install your Delta TDIF PCI host

card. Make sure the slot is a PCI slot. If you don't know what "PCI

slot" means, check the owner’s manual for your computer. PCI slots

are distinguishable from ISA slots by being shorter and set back

farther from the outside of the computer, however some newer

computers have only PCI slots. Newer Macintoshs will have only PCI

slots.

4. Before removing the Delta TDIF PCI host card from its protective anti-

static bag, touch the metal power supply case of the computer in order

to dissipate any static electricity your body may have accumulated.

You might want to pick up a grounding wrist strap (available from

electronics stores like Radio Shack) if you want to be doubly sure you

aren't carrying a static charge that could damage the card.

5. Remove the metal bracket that covers the access hole on the back of

the computer. This bracket is usually fastened to the computer with a

single screw.

6. Position the Delta TDIF PCI host card over the target PCI slot and fit

the card loosely over it with the card in the upright position. Press the

card gently but firmly downward into the slot until the card is

completely and squarely seated in the slot. If the card seems difficult

to seat, a slight rocking motion may help.

7. Screw the Delta TDIF PCI host card’s metal bracket down into the

bracket hole on the back of your computer using the screw you

removed in step 5 above.

8. Place the cover back on your computer.

Now it is time to connect the Delta TDIF’s breakout cable to the PCI host card

that you have just installed. Never attach the break-out cable with the

computer turned on. Doing so could damage the PCI card, and void your

warranty. Similarly, you should power down your computer before attaching

your TDIF device to the 25-pin connector.
